[edit] Main Problem

Okay guys so the main problem with this article is that instead of telling stuff about Clank, most of the article mainly summarizes the Ratchet & Clank story. So that's what we gotta work on. Titan^{Talk to me!} 12:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow. The real problem is that this page is too long. If you shortened it to a brief synopsis of Calnk's history and involvement in the games it would look more appealing. Azul 21:33, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help!

I am planning to do some work on this article to try and remove it from the improvement drive but I don't know where to startDXOOM-10 09:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] name

Hey, should we rename this article to B5429671 because that is technically the real name. Lombax Jerk^{Jerk's Casino--I'm Watching Vandals} 22:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

• If you renamed this article to B5429671, viewers of this page wouldn't even know this was Clank if they haven't played the series before or knew that Clank was the real character but didn't know in the first place B5429671 was technically his real name.

Anyways, if the page was renamed B5429671, then we would need a page re-directing to it from the words 'Clank', or even vice versa. Nifky 07:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

• Lombax Jerk's right. That's Clank's real name. Clank can still redirect and I do strongly feel we should refer to him as Clank in every other article for the reason NIfky said, I just don't think we should in title of this one. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 18:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

• We shouldn't use the title template to make the page appear as B5429671, instead we should discuss moving the page to that title. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 21:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

• Yes I agree with Hunterj. иιƒкч? 06:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
  

Agreed. I think all of you should first think about it. Consintrate about what would other people think if they come to our wiki and think "Oh, I need some info 'bout Clank." and they write Clank to the database and they'll see that it redirects to some stupid code thing. So yeah. Think about that. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 15:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

• While I understand that problem, I still think we need to move the page. The first word in the article should remain as Clank in bold, and there is an image so readers would only need to read the first word to realise they were on the right article, and the first paragraph to understand why the article is titled as it is. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 19:18, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

• I think we should keep the page as the titles of all games says Clank, it might make people a bit confused. But as you wish. I'll agree whatever you decide. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 16:12, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

• I have an issue with that serial number. Unless it's named somewhere else than at the beginning of the original Ratchet & Clank, that is. Because when Clank tells his number to Ratchet, he doesn't get to finish. The rocking of the ship interrupts him, and the lombax nicknames him Clank. So how do we know that serial number is complete? Tıtan ^{Talk/Contrıbs} 02:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

• I didn't know that, I'm not very familiar with the first game so I'll review that clip at some point and comment again. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 14:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

• I totally agree. BTW the serial is complete because the backside of the game's cover mentiones the code. But I still think that it should not be because even Clank doesn't call himself with the code name. He was like renamed then.. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 16:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

• On Wookieepedia, I would call the article Cody, CC-2224, mostly because Cody is just a nickname, and CC-2224 is his 'real' name. IMO. I also know that the Ratchet and Clank Wiki is not Wookieepedia just so you all know. LethalReflex 21:40, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

• Settled at last IRC meeting (29 December 2008), the name stays as Clank. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 22:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

hi. i agree about the name but not everybody knows the name. from ratchet&clank —Unsigned comment at 09:27, 1 February 2009 by Ratchet and clank (talk • contribs).

The serial number was mentioned on the back of the Ratchet & Clank game box, that's all I know. TIGERNOSE ^{(Headquarters|Products|Apartment)} 21:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to name articles by full names (Qwark is better known just as Copernicus Qwark, and Clank just as Clank), but if it's really necessary, then shouldn't this article be titled XJ-0461? Mateo22 ^{Let's Talk!}
